that have gone this way before us, to which our ashes must in 
turn contribute." 



FOREWORD. 



On invitation of the editor of the New England Historical and 
Genealogical Register, the compiler contributed articles upon " The 
Stimpson Family of Charlestown, Mass.," for the July and Octo- 
ber numbers of 1905. This publication was instrumental in awak- 
ening an active interest among the descendants, in making correc- 
tions, and in gathering further material for the compilation of par- 
tial records and more detail regarding members of each generation. 
At the outset the compiler was interested in his own ancestral line, 
but coming in contact with other persons and families, the work 
grew in breadth and fascination. Through the publication of the 
Register articles came the desire for a volume with the records of 
the family brought down to the latest born. 

The compiler found in Andrew' Steavenson, the emigrant, an 
interesting character. His early New England home was Cam- 
bridge, and the homestead of his son Andrew^ Stimson was at 
Charlestown. The names of many prominent men are to be found 
in the following pages, amongst whom are able statesmen, honored 
clergymen and enterprising merchants, who have occupied exalted 
positions, have served mankind nobly, and have left an impress 
upon the times in which they lived ; most of these traced their an- 
cestry to the old " Keeper of Bridewell at Cambridge. " 

Those bearing the family name were so few in number, that there 
have been added to the first four generations, many of the descend- 
ants of the female lines. In the compilation of this family the fact 
appears that for these first four generations, although the daughters 
were numerous, only one male member married and had children. 
From John* Stimson, born 1728, all the descendants, both male and 
female, with a very few exceptions, are given to the present time. 

The genealogical annotation is after the " Register " plan. When 
the name of the State in which a town is situated is not given, it is 
understood to be Massachusetts, except in the case where a town, 
in some other State, is mentioned more than once in a paragraph, 
and then the State is not repeated. Double dating, that is, old and 
new style of reckoning time during January, February and March, 
prior to 1752, is clearly noted and will be readily understood. The 
abbreviations are those in ordinary historical use. 



The compiler finds himself under many obligations to the various 
members and descendants of the Stimpson family and to others who 
have crenerously assisted him in his work. It would be mjustice on 
his part not to acknowledge the generous assistance rendered him 
by Miss M. B. Fairbanks of the New England Historic Genealo- 
trical Society, whose extensive knowledge of genealogy has been freely 
fmparted in the preparation of this book. The thanks of the family 
are due to the Suffolk Engraving and Electrotyping Company of Bos- 
ton, for the half-tones which are given. The high standard of their 
work has been maintained in the present case. The photographs 
of the John* Stimson tombstone and of Main Street, Charlestown, 
are the work of one of the descendants, Mr. George^ Thorndike* 
Barker. An extensive correspondence has been carried on, and 
material gathered from both public and private records, and un- 
familiar sources, while the research has been patient, persistent and 
thorough. The indifference sometimes manifested, is clearly shown 
by the*^ absence of records in certain families, and in the many ad- 
ditions and corrections made necessary by inattention and delay on 
the part of correspondents. 

The compiler hopes these pages may afford their readers a share 
of the pleasure and satisfaction he has had in their preparation; 
if this proves to be the case, then his labors of the past few years 
have not been in vain.

THE STIMPSON FAMILY OF CHARLESTOWN, MASS. 



1, Andrew Steavenson or Stevenson, the ancestor of the family, 
who resided at Cambridge and Charlestown, Mass., came from New Castle- 

upon-Tyne, England, after 1637,* and was made a freeman at Cambridge, 
May 10, 1643. 

Andrew and his wife Jane, whom he had married in England, both 
joined the Church at Cambridge in 1643 (Church History), and were still 
members at the church gathering which occurred, Jan., 1658 (Mitchel's 
list). 

His name, as given in the various records, was written Steavenson and 
Stevenson, but later generations have changed the spelling to Stimson and 
Stimpson.^ 

His occupation is given as that of a cobbler ( shoemaker, a trade he 
followed for some years after his arrival. IT , received a number of grants 
of land in Cambridge. In 1645 he was given three and one-half acres of 
land at Menotomye River; Aug. 15, 1646, he bought of William French 
four acres of land in the New West Field; Dec. 12, 1648, he purchased 
of Thomas Crosbye one dwelling house, within the towne, with half a rood 
of land; Nov. 29, 1689, he received eight acres, in the first division in 
Cambridge (Proprietors' Records of Cambridge). This lot of land his 
children sold to Ebenezer Swan, Mar. 19, 1694 (Middlesex Co. Deeds, 
V. 14, p. 125). 

In 1654, a committee was appointed by the Court " to provide a House 
of Correction, with a fit person to keep the same." Jan. 7, 1655, the com- 
mittee reported that " they had not only purchased Andrew Stevenson's house 
and lot, but selected him as a proper person to be Keeper of Bridewell." He 
served in the office as prison keeper from 1656 to 1672, when, for various 

* John Sill and his wife Joanna were of Cambridge in 1637; he died before 1653. 
She was made Attorney for Susan Blackiston of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, widow, Aug. 
27, 1653, to recover several debts, one of which was from Andrew Steavenson, cobbler, 
debt. 1637, formerly of Newcastle and now of New England. 

t Bardsley, in his work on English Surnames, under Patronymic Surnames, writes 
the following concerning this family: "The proto-martyr Stephen has left many 
memorials in our nomenclature of the popularity which his stoi-y obtained among the 
English peasantry. The name proper is found in such entries as Esteven Walays or 
Jordan fil : Stephen, and their descendants now figure amongst us as Stephens, Stevens, 
and Stephenson. More curtailed forms are met with in Steenson and Stinson, and 
the more corrupted Stimson and Stimpson." 



reasons, he was dismissed, having served as keei^er sixteen years. The deed 
of this property from Stevenson to the County, and from the County back 
to Stevenson, cannot be found on record at the present time, although in 
his will he speaks of this house and land.* It was conveyed by his heirs 
to Jonathan Nutting, by deed dated Mar. 25, 1695 (Middlesex Co. Deeds, 
v. 13, p. 09), and was signed by Andrew Stimson, housewright, of Charles- 
town, and Abigail his wife, Mathew Abdy of Cambridge, glover, and 
Deborah his wife, Joseph Lowden of Charlestown, shipwright, James Bur- 
bean and Mary his wife, James Patterson of Billerica and Rebecca his 
wife, Thomas Richardson, Sen., and Thomas Richardson, Jr., of Billerica, 
and William Burgess of Ipswich and Hannah his wife. 

Andrew Stevenson's will, dated May 23, 1681, inventory filed June 28, 
1683, mentions wife Jane, who was to have the entire estate during the 
term of her life, and after her death his eldest son Andrew was to have a 
double portion, while the rest was to be divided amongst the five daugh 
ters. That portion which belonged to his daughter Sarah was given to 
her two children Joseph and Mary Lowden.

2. Deborah^ Stimson (Andrew^), born in England, about Aug., 1637, 
married first, Robert Wilson of Sudbury. Nothing has been found 
as to his birth nor the date of his marriage. He died about 1685, 
and administration on his estate was granted Nov. 14, 17tO. 

She married second, previous to 1695, Mathew Abdy of Cam- 
bridge, son of Mathew and Tabitha (Reynolds) Abdy, who was 
born about 1654, and died at Cambridge about 1730. The date of 
her death is not known, but he had wife Ruth who died Dec. 10, 
1762, aged 93 years. Deborah was admitted to full communion at 
Cambridge, March 5, 1665-6. Mathew Abdy was appointed 
" Sweeper and bedmaker " on probation at Harvard College, and 
was assigned to Stoughton House. He retained this position until 

* r;u<,'o, in liis History of Cambridge, in speaking of this jail, says : " This House 
of Correction stootl on the easterly side of Holyoke Street, almost two hundred feet 
nortlierly from the present location of Mount Auburn Street, After the erection of a 
j!iil, this estate was reconveyed to Stevenson, whose heirs sold it to Jonathan ISTutting, 
Mixv. 25, l()9.j." 

" Oct. 16«0, The County Court ordered, that the House of Correction, or Bride- 
well, should be used as a prison for the County, until further provision be made."

at the southwest corner of Mount Auburn and Holyoke streets in

has had world wide reputation, being known as " Father Abdy's

Andrew^ Stimson {Andrew^), born in Cambridge, Jan. 14 or 17, 
1650, and baptized at Cambridge, married at Charlestown, Mar. 9, 
1678, Abigail, daughter of Benjamin and Abigail (Wigglesworth) 
Sweetser, the date of whose birth is unknown, but who was bap- 
tized and admitted to the church, Jan. 28, 1681-2 (First Church 
records). He died at Charlestown, Dec. 14, 1721, aged 72 j-ears 
(gravestone) ; and she died there Mar. 3, 1725- 6. He probably 
removed from Cambridge to Charlestown about the time of his 
marriage (1678), as this is the first record we find of him in Charles- 
town. In the deed which he gave of the homestead in Cambridge 
he is called " housewright," but in a bond given in the settling of 
his estate he is styled " shopkeeper." As a shop is mentioned in 
his inventory, he evidently engaged in business after moving to 
Charlestown. In 1665, while in Cambridge, he was bound out to 
Jonathan Remington for a term of yeais, but in 1668 he was 
desirous of buying his time, and did so on the payment of £12 
(Middlesex Co. Court Files, 1668). He was admitted a member 
of the Church in Charlestown, Jan. 28, 1682-3. 

In 1704 he purchased land, house and other buildings in Charles- 



12 

town of William Frothiiigham (Middlesex Co. Deeds, v. 13, p. 
631). In 1717 he sold to his son John Stimson land on which he 
had built a house, which adjoined his own. This property remained 
in the possession of the family for many years ; the last deed, wliich 
conve3^ed the interest of one of his descendants, was given in 1821. 

lie died intestate, and his widow gave bonds as administratrix, 
Apr. 17, 1722. Before his estate was settled, the widow died, leav- 
ino' a will dated Jan. 27, 1725, probated Apr. 4, 1726. Her sons 
John and Joseph Stimson were named as executors of their mother's 
estate, and were at the same time appointed administrators of their 
father's estate in her place. 

Andrew Stimson may have been the one credited with service in 
King Philip's War, Jan. 25, 1675-6. His father at that time 
would have been over sixty years of age and hardly able to endure 
the hardships of such a campaign.

Nov. 9, 1718, at which time she was a widow. They resided at 
Charlestown, where he owned quite an amount of real estate. He 
also owned fourteen acres of land at Wilbridge Hill, which at the 
present time is called Prospect Hill. The inventory of his estate 
was filed in 1713 ; and the widow Abigail was taxed in 1727 and 
1728. In 1725, with other heirs, she sold her interest in the estate 
of her brother Benjamin Stimson to John Hancock — a house near 
Penny Ferry. Administration on her estate was granted to her 
son Thomas Croswell, Sept. 4, 1738.

thaniel and Mary (Hett) Frothingham, who was born in Charles- 
town, Dec. 2, and baptized Dec. 5, 1675. His first wife was Esther,

25, 1708. He died at Charlestown, Aug. 30, 1724; and his second

Mary Stimson was admitted a member of the Church at Charles- 
town, Mar. 8, 1712-3, about the time of her marriage. Thomas 
Frothingham was a shipwright, and resided at Charlestown. His 
will, dated June 8, 1724, probated Oct. 2, 1724, devised all his 
estate to his wife, except what came to him by his first wife. He

Charlestown, Jan. 10, and baptized, Jan. 15, 1698-9. She died at

Jan. 20, 1696-7. He died at Charlestown about 1747; and she 
died there, Aug. 31, 1747. 

He resided at Charlestown, and followed the vocation of saddler, 
a trade which has been engaged in by several of his descendants, 
and is at the present time followed by a member of the family in 
a suburban city. He was admitted to the Church, Oct. 3, 1731. 
He inherited a part of the homestead, from his father's estate, in 
addition to what his father had given him some time previous (Mid- 
dlesex Co. Deeds, v. 18, p. 523). 

Ruth Wyer, the second wife, owned the Covenant, June 9, 1717,

dian over his tw^o children : Elizabeth, who was seventeen years of

19, 1689-90, married first, Sept. 8, 1715, Henry, son of Isaac and

and was lost at sea about 1724. She married second, as his second 
wife, May 10, 1732, Capt. Henry Davis, who had married first, June

Bethiah died Aug. 20, 1744. She owned the Covenant, Dec. 25, 

1720, and was admitted to membership in the Church, Feb. 16, 
1728-9. Henry Fowle was a mariner. He bought 100 rods of 
land near the Training Field, which comprised all the real estate 
he left. His inventory was dated April 2, 1724, "having gone to 
sea, and not being heard of for above three years past." His estate 
was valued at £122. 2. 3. The widow Bethiah was taxed for the 
years 1727, 1729 and 1730. With the heirs of Benjamin Stimson, 
she sold her interest in her estate to John Hancock, in 1725. 

Capt. Henry Davis was also a seafaring man ; was in a sloop 
from Barbadoes to Boston, Sept. 1, 1714; had his tax abated in 

1721, and was taxed in 1729 and 1738. Administration on his 
estate was granted to his widow, Feb. 20, 1737, inventory taken 
July 10, 1738, one of the items being a pew valued at £60. The 
widow Bethiah was taxed in 1744; and her heirs sold five-sixths of 
a pew to William Ford, in 1758. 

Child, born in Watertown :

ton, May 17, 1750, Zachariah, son of John and Mary (Barrell) 
Fowle, who was b. in Boston, May 13, 1724 ; she was admitted to

12. Benjamin^ Stimson {Andrew,^ Andrew,^), born in Charlestown, and 

baptized Sept. 18, 1692, married at Charlestown, June 7, 1715, 
Elizabeth, daughter of James and Elizabeth (Hayward) Kettle of 
Gloucester, who was born in Charlestown, Jan. 19, 1693-4, and bap- 
tized Apr. 2, 1694. He died at Charlestown, Dec. 11, 1721 (grave- 
stone) ; and she died there, Jan. 17, 1721-2, without issue. 

He followed the family trade, of saddler, and lived but six years 
after his marriage, One record states that he died of a wound. 
His death occurred three days before that of his father ; and as his 
wife died about a month after his death, and before his father's 
estate was divided, no mention of him or his wife was made in the 



17 

settlement of that estate. His will was dated Sept. 30, 1721, and 
probated Dec. 30, 1721, and James Kettell was appointed admin- 
istrator with the will annexed, with John Stimson on the bond. The 
estate went to his brother and sisters, who sold it to John Hancock, 
in 1725. 

13. Joseph^ Stimson {Andrew,^ Andrew^), born in Charlestown, Feb. 7, 
1699-1700, never married, and died at Charlestown, Mar. 28, 1752. 
He graduated from Harvard College in 1720, and was admitted to 
the Church, Nov. 21, 1722; from 1720 to 1724 he taught school 
in his native town ; and was ordained the first pastor of the Second 
Church in Maiden, Sept. 24, 1735, but had, however, preached 
some time in the town previous to his ordination. 

Unfortunately, a strife of many years' duration existed amongst 
the members of the First Church. The need of another Church, 
in another part of the town, was manifested by those who resided 
some distance away, but this was met with great opposition on the 
part of many who thought one Church was sufficient. However, 
an organization was finally formed, and Mr. Stimson was the first 
pastor. 

Continued strife during his pastorate was not conducive to the 
welfare of the Church, and he offered his resignation, which was 
accepted in 1745.* He continued to reside in Maiden for several 
years, though not in the capacity of pastor. He returned to Charles- 
town a few years before his death, and was taxed there in 1748. 
His will, dated Feb. 11, 1752, was probated Apr. 13, 1752. His 
gravestone is still to be seen in the old burying ground, off Main 
Street in Charlestown. 

14. Lydia^ Stimson (Aiidreio,^ Andrew^), born in Charlestown, Oct. 14, 

1703, married first, at Charlestown, Apr. 30, 1724, Robert, son of 

Robert and Mary Calley of Charlestown; and married second, 

Jan. 8, 1754, as his second wife, Isaac, son of George and Dorcas 

(Graves) Abbott of Andover, who was born there Apr. 4, 1699. 

His first wife was Phebe Lovejoy, who died about 1751. He 

died at Andover, Aug. 9, 1784; and Lydia died there, Feb. 28, 

1791. She was admitted to the Church, Dec. 8, 1721. Robert 

Calley was a seafaring man, and at one time was captain of the 

schooner " Content." He went to sea and was never heard from. 

Lydia Calley, as attorney for Robert Calley, leased the west part 

of her house to Joseph Stimson for ninety-nine years. As Lydia 

Abbott of Andover she made claim for loss by British invasion in 

1775.

widow of William Pitts, who was born in Charlestown, Jime 6, 
1706, and died Mar. 28, 1730-1. He married second, at Charles- 
town, Apr. 13, 1732, Hannah, daughter of John and Hannah 
(Welch) Login, who was born in Charlestown. He was a barber 
and peruke maker at Charlestown, but he undoubtedly left town 
for a while, for " he came from abroad to Charlestown in 1731, and 
was notified." After the death of his mother, in 1738, Thomas, as 
administrator of the estate, and with the other heirs, sold all the 
real estate which his father left. Thomas settled in Connecticut, 
and some of his descendants probably went to South Carolina.

16. Andrew^ Croswell (Abigail,^ Andrew^ Andrew'^), born in Charles- 
town, Jan. 30, 1708-9 ; married about 1736, Rebecca, daughter of 
Elisha and Susannah (Clark) Holmes, who was born in Plymouth, 
about 1720. He died at Boston, April 12, 1785 ; she died there 
previous to 1782.* He graduated at Harvard College, 1728; was 
ordained pastor of the Congregational Church at Groton, Conn., Oct., 
1736 ; dismissed, Aug., 1746. Upon his return to Boston, he was 
installed over the School St. Congregational Church, Oct. 6, 1748. 
This Church was founded by persons from other Boston Churches, 
Oct. 6, 1738. Mr. Croswell continued its minister until his death 
in 1785, when the Society disbanded, and the building was sold. 

Mr. Croswell did not work in unison with the ministers of the 
other Boston churches. Serious theological questions had arisen, 
and he, from the views which he held, was looked upon with dis- 
favor by many. He was much in sympathy with Rev. George 
Whitefield, that marvellous preacher of the 18th century, whose 
third visit to America took place in 1744. He espoused his cause 
and the result may have given rise to the animosity towards Mr. 
Croswell. Sermons of a personal nature were preached, and letters 
written, both by Mr. Croswell and his opponents. Some of these 
were printed and are accessible at the present day. 

Mr. Croswell was an able preacher and a fluent writer ; fond of 
argument, he dealt unsparingly with those who differed from him. 

His will was dated Mar. 23, 1785, and probated Nov. 8 follow- 
ing ; it mentions his daughter Sarah, and sons : William, Nathaniel, 
Andrew and Joseph.

for some reason unknown, changed his plans and entered business 
life. For several years he was successful, but later met with re- 
verses which caused his failure. His residence during his business 
career has not been ascertained, but iu 1742 he was at Groton, 
Conn., where his brother Andrew was located. Here he was con- 
verted, Mar. 26 of that year, and about 1753 began preaching.* 
It is not known what church he affiliated with, but for more than 
forty years he traveled through the New England States, holding 
religious sei'vices. No record of his children has as yet been 
found, but it is known that he had a son and daughter.

William Kettell was a baker, residing in Charlestown, and in 
later years he was called " Deacon." He was taxed in Charles- 
town from 1736 until the time of his death, with the exception of 
the years 1738, 1745 and 1748. In 1752 he sold John Stimson 
land on Main Street, which was bounded on the North " by a way 
over Bunker Hill." This was undoubtedly the same land which 
was set off to his wife Ruth as her portion of her father's estate. 
His will, dated Dec. 8, 1767, and probated Jan. 5, 1768, gave one- 
third of the estate to his wife, and the remaining two-thirds to the 
children. The widow was taxed in 1770 and 1773; and in 1781 
she sold to William Stimpson one and one-half acres of land in 
Charlestown, on Main Street.

of the Mansion house of our father, with land adjoining, lately im- 
proved by us, agreeably to the division of our said father's estate 
amongst his children, as ordered by the Court." Bounded and de- 
scribed as follows : " nine poles of the house plot, the part of the 
house, there measuring from the ground sill of said house on the 
front street measuring on a straight line back through the chimney 
to the middle of the rear of said house from top to bottom, and so 
to the rear of said House. The lot is bounded Southwest upon the 
Country Road, forty seven feet from the middle of the house; 
Southeast on the remaining part of the homestead, sixty six feet ;

Stimson to the Country Road ; Northwest on our said brother's part 
of the House and house lot." (JVIiddlesex Co. Deeds, v. 62, p. 32.)

John* Stimson.

He resided in Charlestown, and followed the family trade of 

taker. He inherited two-fifths of the homestead when his father's 

estate was divided, and purchased that portion set off to his sister 

Elizabeth Newell. His house was situated at what is now the 

corner of Main and Meade Streets, with the bake-house in the rear. 

The land extended from Main Street up the hill to the present 

Bunker Hill Street, or, as it was called in early times, " the road 

over Bunker Hill." There is a tradition in the family that he 

furnished supplies (probably bread) for the American army during 

the Revolution, and that his death was caused by camp fever. No 

records have as yet been found which would prove this. He made 

a claim for the destruction of his buildings at the burning of the 

town by the British in 1775, amounting to £334. 8. 0., and was 

taxed in Charlestown from 1756 to 1773, but why the tax was 

omitted for the remaining years is not known. His wife renewed 

the Covenant, Jan. 7, 1753, just previous to the baptism of her first 

child. 

He died intestate, and administration on his estate was granted 
to his widow, Sept. 20, 1776. Henry Sweetser was appointed 
guardian of all the children who were minors. The homestead was 
purchased by the son William, who paid the other heirs for their 
interest.

burg in trust for my nephew Newell of Lunenburg, he to occupy

Shortly after this he removed to Keene, N. H., where he estab- 
lished the New Hampshire Recorder, the first newspaper to be 
printed in that place. He was made a Mason in Rising Sun Lodge, 
A. F. and A. M., Nov. 22, 1787. The following is taken from the 
records of Rising Sim Lodge. " Dec. 19, 1787, the Lodge voted: 
That the members of the Rising Sun Lodge be summoned to attend

the date of her death has not as yet been found, but she was living 
in 1811. He was a prominent merchant of Boston. From his 
uncle Timothy Newell's estate he inherited some valuable property, 
and was also made one of the executors and trustees. One of these 
was the mansion house, situated on Bowdoin Square, at the junction 
of Cambridge and Green Streets, which he occupied for a number 
of years, and in 1810 sohl it to Samuel Parkmau. He dealt 
largely in real estate, and with his partners, Ebenezer Niles and 
Abuer Gardner, purchased several tracts of land in Dorchester, 
near Commercial or Preston's Point, about 1805, with the intention 
of making that locality the centre of business. Many improve- 
ments were made, roads and dams were built, also two large houses, 
both of which are standing at the present time. Nov. 29, 1809 the 
Company sold Joseph W. Jenkins land on Bark Warwick Street, 
together with the public house, called the hotel. The war of 1812 
coming on, they were unable to continue the business, and lost their 
entire estate. Mr. Newell continued business in Boston for a num- 
ber of years, but never recovered from the severe loss he had sus- 
tained.

He followed the family trade of saddler, and was tlie first of the 
family to reside in Watertown. He served in the Revolution as a 
member of Capt. Phineas Stearns's Co., for five days, which marched 
from Watertown, by order of General Washington, to reinforce the 
Army m taking possession of Dorchester Heights, Mar., 1776 (Mass 
Rev. Records, v. 23, p. 30), and appears to have signed a receipt 
for Bounty, paid him by Jonathan Brown, town treasurer, dated 
Watertown, July 17, 1776 (Mass. Rev. Records, v. 53, p. 187). 

Little is known concerning this John. He resided at Watertown 
for a number of years ; and probably lived at Keene, N. H., at the 
time of his second marriage. Dec. 29, 1784, with his mother, Su- 
sannah Newell, and his brothers and sisters, he sold his interest and 
title to two and one sixth acres of land situated in Charlestown, to 
his brother, William Stimpson, bounded and described as follows: 
"Westerly on the highway there measuring one chain and ninety 
eight links ; Northerly on land of Thomas Frothingham in part 
and partly on land of the heirs of Thomas Call (deceased) there 
measuring ten chains and eighty six links ; Easterly on the field-way 
measuring one chain and eighty five links ; Southerly on land of 
said Wilham Stimpson, there measuring eleven chains and ten links • 
Easterly on land of said Stimpson, measuring forty links, and 
Southerly on said Stimpson's land one chain." (Middlesex Co 
Deeds, V. 88, p. 310.) Oct. 14, 1798, with other heirs, he sold his 
interest in one acre of land laid out from his father's estate, to his 
mother, subject to her interest. (Middlesex Co. Deeds, v. 131, p. 4.) 
The land afterwards came into possession of Isaac Mead of 
Charlestown, who laid it out in lots which were sold as occasion re- 
quired. A street was laid out about 1824, which was called Mead 
Street in 1844.*

He followed the trade of baker, and carried on the business in 
Charlestown, where he owned land near the old homestead on Main 
Street. Dec 29, 1784, he purchased from his mother, Susannah 
Newell, and his brothers and sisters, the entire estate left by his 
father, save a small portion set off to his mother as her thirds. 
(Middlesex Co. Deeds, v. 88, p. 310.) By deed of May 3, 1795,

posed of all his interest within a few years. In 1804 he sold laud 
in Charlestown to Phinehas Smith, and in the deed he is mentioned

son, who was born in Hollis, N. H., Oct. 14, 1799, and died Sept. 
27, 1846 (Bailey Genealogy). He died at Charlestown, Dec. 28, 
1849, aged 90 years. 

By trade he was a saddler, which trade he followed at Charles- 
town and Hudson. Dec. 29, 1784, with wife Lucy, he signed the 
family deed, and sold his interest in his father's estate. June 20, 
1821, with wife Deborah, he sold his right to the one acre of land 
in Charlestown, also his brother Joseph's interest, which he had 
purchased, Jan. 18, 1821. 

May 9, 1816, with John Trumbull, mariner (probably his son-m- 
law), he sold a tract of land in Newton, containing seventy-three 
acres, the same having been purchased of Peter Thacher. 

Nov 3 1819, he purchased two lots of land at Nottingham 
West (now Hudson), N. H., of Moses Griffin of Charlestown, 
bounded by Moses Towne and Joseph Bailey. The lots contamed 
sixty-two acres and were situated partly in Hudson and partly m 
Londonderry. (Hillsboro' Co. Deeds, v. 125, p. 388.) He removed 
with his family to Hudson about the time of this purchase, and re- 
sided there for some thirty years. Apr. 1, 1820, he sold an undi- 
vided one quarter part of his purchase to his son Charles. He 
served in the Revolution as a private, in Capt. Walton's Co., from 
Sept. 4 to Sept. 11, 1778 (Mass. Rev. Records, v. 55, p. 3, his 
autograph appears in this roll), and in Capt. Foster's Co., Col. 
Howes' Regt., from July 31, to Nov 2, 1780 (Mass. Rev. Records, 
V. 2, p. 52). He received a pension from the U. S. Government. 

' It is not known when he returned to Charlestown, but it was 
probably just before his death, as he was taxed in both towns as late 
as 1849. He died at the house of his son George Stimpson at 
Charlestown, His will, dated Nov. 6, 1840, which was made while 
living at Hudson, was probated at Cambridge in 1850. A copy is

to be found in the appendix. As Andrew Stimpson died previous 
to the settling of Mrs. Bradshaw's estate, the legacy of $200 which 
was given to him was divided among his heirs, as follows : William 
F. Walker, Charles A. Walker, Susan A. Bowker, Loami Bailey 
Mary Kelly, Clarissa Coots, George Stimpson, Andrew Stimpson 
and Harriet Towns. 

Children, born in Charlestown : 

LucY,« bapt. at Watertown, Aug. 24, 1783; m. Joseph Russell.

78. ix. Harriet, b. 1805; bapt. Nov. 1, 1805; m. Moody Bridges Towne. 

35. RuTH^ Stimpson {John* John,^ Andrew,'' Andrew^) , born in Charles- 
town, and baptized Mar. 15, 1761, married at Boston, Mar. 15, 1786, 
Andrew, son of Stephen and Mary Bradshaw, who was born in 
Medford, Feb. 26, 1753, and died at Boston in the early part of 
1802. She died at Boston, May 23, 1852, aged 92 years. No issue. 
Aug. 12, 1788, Mr. Bradshaw purchased land with buildings, for 
£1,000 of John Sprague et ah. of Lancaster. One condition In the 
deed was " that he was to have the privilege of a drain to the mill 
pond across the street." (Suffolk Co. Deeds, v. 164, p. 162.) The 
house and distillery which adjoined, were situated on the southerly 
Bide of Distil-House Square,* near to Sudbury Street. This square 
was the southern boundary of the bay, which has since been filled in, 
and includes at the present time the Northern Union Station. The 
family occupied the house until the death of Mrs. Bradshaw. It 
was sold July 6, 1852, to settle her estate, in compliance with the 
terms of her will. 

Mr. Bradshaw lived but a few years after his marriage. No rec- 
ord of his death has as yet been found, but his will, which was 
dated Dec. 26, 1801, and probated Mar. 15, 1802, gives an ap- 
proximate date. By his will he gave all his estate to his wife, with 
the exception of a few legacies to some of his relatives. 

Mr. Bradshaw was buried in the Central Burying-ground, Boston 
Common. At that time his tomb was situated in the southerly part. 

* As early as 1743 this was known as Distil-House square; it extended from Sud- 
bury street northwest to the Mill-pond and Hawkins street; also called Distillers 
square; name changed to Adams street, Sept. 9, 1850, and to Bowker street in 1868, 
by which name it is known at the present time. 



42 

When Boylston Street was extended to Pleasant Street, about 1813, 
the tombs were torn down and the bodies removed. Mrs. Brad- 
shaw afterwards purchased tomb No. 134. 

Dec. 20, 1836, she sold one quarter part of this tomb to H. H. 
Jones of Boston. 

Mrs. Bradshaw was an invalid during the latter part of her life. 
Feeble and almost helpless, she was tenderly and faithfully cared 
for by her relatives, and testified to her love and regard for them 
by the disposition made of her estate. 

Her home, for many years, was a rendezvous for her brothers and 
sisters, and nephews and nieces. She was probably an attendant 
at Rev. Mr. Lathrop's Church on Brattle Street, until her infirmities 
prevented, and he was a weekly visitor at her home for many years. 

Mrs. Bradshaw's will was dated Oct. 6, 1842, with a codicil added 
Jan. 20, 1847. It was probated June 14, 1852. William Minot, 
Esq., was appointed executor. A copy is to be found in the ap- 
pendix. It is a will that would make glad the heart of the most 
thorough genealogist, as it abounds in family names. 

36. Rebecca^ Stimpson (John," John,'' Andrew,'' Andrew^), born in 
Charlestown, and baptized Apr. 10, 1763, married fii'st, in Boston 
(Trinity Church), Jan. 11, 1785, Josiah, son of Josiah and Charity 
(Dwelly) Capen of Dorchester, who was born in Dorchester, June 
7, 1748, and died inWatertown about 1796; married second, Levi 
Gooden'owe, who died at Keene, N. H., Dec. 5, 1798 ; married third, 
at Keene, N. H., Jan. 9, 1800, Col. Joseph Kimball of Plainfield, 
N. H. ; married fourth, at Keene, N. H., Sept. 24, 1806, as his 
second wife, Hon. Lockhart, son of Maj. Josiah and Thaukfull 
(Taylor) Willard, who was born in Keene, May 15, 1763, and died 
there. Mar. 22, 1818, who had married first, July 20, 1783, Salome, 
daughter of Gen. James and Abigail (Hinds) Reed of New Salem, 
Mass. ; and married fifth, and last, at Keene, Nov. 29, 1821, as his 
second wife, Michael, son of Ens. Michael and Anne Metcalf, who 
was born in Keene, about 1761, and who had married first, Dec. 
31, 1789, Mehitable Hale. Michael Metcalf died in Keene, July 8, 
1847, aged 86 years ; died there May 16, 1851. 

Josiah Capen was a tanner at Watertown, and for several years 
carried on an extensive business, but before his death he met with 
reverses and lost his property. 

Administration was granted on his estate, which was insolvent, 

Dec. 8, 1796. 

Levi Goodenowe was a resident of Keene as early as 1791, when 
he became a member of Rising Sun Lodge of Masons. Adminis- 
tration on his estate was granted his widow Apr. 4, 1799. 



43 

After diligent search amongst the famUy records, and corres- 
pondence with the compilers of the Kimball genealogy, we are 
unable to decide which one of the several members of the Kimball 
family bearing this name was her husband. Neither the date nor 
the place of his death has as yet been found. 

Lockhart Willard was a prominent man of his time in Keene. 
He followed well his father in taking an active part in shaping the 
affairs of the town. He was honored by his fellow citizens°with 
many positions of trust and responsibUity. He was sent from his 
native town as State Representative for the years 1800, 1803. 1805, 
and as Senator in 1806 and 1808. 

He left little or no estate to be administered upon. His widow 
filed a petition to be appointed administratrix, Apr. 17, 1818, which 
was allowed, but the estate proved to be insolvent. 

A tradition in the Stimpson family, that Michael Metcalf, the 
husband of Rebecca, was an Ensign in the Revolution, is not sub- 
stantiated by the record. As Michael was born about 1761, he 
would hardly have been old enough at that time, to have borne 
arms in the defense of his country. The records show that it was 
his father who was Ensign, and was killed in the battle near 
Bennington, Aug., 1777. 

The family residence in Keene was on Main Street, almost op- 
posite that of her brother-in-law, David Simmons. 

The inscription on her tombstone reads, "Rebecca, wife of 
JMichael Metcalf, and mother of 'Josiah and Rebecca Capen, died 
May 16, 1851." 

Children by first husband, born in Watertown : 

79. i. Josiah'' Capen, b. Mar. 14, 1787.

37. Mart^ SxniPSON (John,' John,' Andrew;' Andreio% born in Charles- 
town, May 2, 1763 (gravestone), baptized May 5, 1765, married 
in Boston, Feb. 10, 1785, David, son of Reuben and Sarah (Lin- 
coln) Simmons, who was born in Hingham, Jan. 4, 1763, and died 
suddenly, at Roxbury, Oct. 1, 1845. She died there Dec. 31, 1845. 

He settled in Keene, N. H., about the time of his marriage, was 
a prominent man of the town, and a lawyer of considerable note 
who enjoyed a lucrative practice. 

Sept. 10, 1792, he became a member of Rising Sun Lodge of 
Masons, and continued as such until the Lodge surrendered its 
charter in 1805. Most of these years he had held an ofiice in the 
Lodge. It is not known when he left Keene, but his declining 
years were spent with his children, most of whom resided on High- 
land Street in Roxbury.

Children, born in Keene, N. H. :

91. xi. George Arthur Simmons, b. May 17, 1808. 

38. Elizabeth^ Stimpson {John* John^ Andrew^ Andrew^), born in 
Charlestown about 1766, and baptized Apr. 19, 1766 (Church 
records give date of baptism as 1767), married first, Apr. 6, 1790, 
Jonas, son of James and Sarah (Bond) Dix of Watertown, who 
was born there June 4, 1761, and died at Hamilton, N. Y., Sept., 
1799 ; married second, Stephen Fosdick ; and married third, Lyman 
Beard. She died about 1852, without issue. 

Jonas Dix, at the time of his marriage, kept an apothecary store 
and practiced medicine in Keene, N. H. He became a member of 
Rising Sun Lodge of Masons, Aug. 18, 1784, and was its Secretary 
for several years. His health became impaired and he went to 
Hamilton, N. Y., with the hope that the change would be bene- 
ficial, but died shortly after reaching his destination. 

Dr. Bond, in his History of Watertown, erroneously states that 
he died at his sister's in Northampton, probably meaning Notting- 
ham West, N. H., where the widow resided at one time. 

At the time Dr. Dix left for Hamilton, his wife went to Milton 
to reside. It was from this fact that we are inclined to think that 
she must have lived there in her younger days. 

Nothing has been found concerning her second and third mar- 
riages. The second one must have taken j^lace after May 5, 1818, 
as on that date, with her sisters, Ruth Bradshaw and Nancy Dicks, 
she sold her interest in her mother's right of dower, and was at that 
time Elizabeth Dix of Nottingham West, N. H., and a widow. 

Mrs. Bradshaw gave her $300 in her will in 1842, when she is 
called Betsey Beard. This legacy was not revoked in the codicil 
of 1847, as in the case of Abigail Gibbs and Mary Simmons, both 
of whom had died, and as she is not mentioned in the settlement of 
the estate in 1853, her death must have occurred between these 
two dates. As far as known she left no heirs to whom the legacy 
would descend. 



45 

39. Benjamin^ Stimpson {John* John,^ Andrew,^ Andrew^), born in 
Charlestown, and baptized there, Aug. 7, 1768, married at Charles- 
town, Sept. 29, 1788, Rebecca, daughter of Samuel and Martha 
(Bennett) Hill, who was born in Cambridge, May 13, baptized May 
19, 1771, and died at Taunton, Jan. 21, 1857, aged 91 years, 8 
months and 8 days* (State record). He died at Framingham, Nov. 
7, 1848. 

In 1798, he sold his interest in the homestead in Charlestown, at 
which time he was styled a " baker of Boston." Shortly after this 
he gave up the trade of his fathers, for in 1803, he kept a stable 
in Lendall's Lane in Boston. f 

As some of the children of John and Susannah Stimpson pos- 
sessed a roving disposition, it is possible that Benjamin was inclined 
in this direction. He was in Boston as late as 1825, but after that 
year all trace of him is lost, until his death. He may have spent 
the last few years of his life with his daughter, Mrs. Emily S. 
Gilmore, who resided at Framingham. 

He was given $200 by Mrs. Bradshaw, but as he died previous 
to the settlement of her estate in 1853, the legacy was divided 
amongst his heirs. 

An obituary of Mrs. Rebecca Stimpson was printed in the Bos- 
ton Journal of March 5, 1857. She retained her mental powers 
to a remarkable degree till near the close of her long and useful 
life. It was interesting to witness the vivacity with which she 
recalled the incidents of her youth. Her early days were passed 
at "West Cambridge, and the marching of the British troops past 
her father's door on their way to Lexington and Concord, and the 
exciting scenes which followed during that memorable struggle, 
were described by her in such a way as to leave no doubt of the 

* According to the death record she was born May 13, 1765, but her birth, as given 
above, is found in the printed records of Arlington (West Cambridge). Her father 
died April 15, 1782, and administration on his estate was granted to his widow Martha, 
May 2, 1782. The children, Rebecca, Abigail and Joseph Hill (under 14 years of age) 
were put under the guardianship of Benjamin Lock, June 4, 1783. May 3, 1797, Timo- 
thy Lindall Jennison was appointed guardian over Abigail Hill, over 14 years of age, 
daughter of Samuel Hill of Cambridge. 

" Boston, May 8, 1799. Received of Timothy Lindall Jennison, Twenty four Dollars 
and twenty six cents in full of all my claims on him as my late Guardian. And hereby 
acknowledge myself satisfied as above.

t Lendall's lane extended from Leverett's lane (now Congress street), opposite the 
Quaker Meeting House, to Oliver's dock (now Kilby street). In 1817 it was called 
Lindall street, and in 1873 the name was changed to Exchange place.

impression they made on her mind. After her marriage she set- 
tled in Charlestown, and joined the First Congregational Church. 

" In all the relations of life, as a child, a wife, a mother, and a 
member of the Christian Church, she acted well her part. It was 
meet that a life so well spent should have been followed as hers 
was, by a serene and tranquil old age and a triumphant death." 

The names of the children are not recorded, but have been ob- 
tained, in part, from Mrs. Bradshaw's will. 

Children, probably all born in Boston :

X. Elizabeth. 

98. xi. Joseph, b. May 1, 1809. 

40. Joseph^ Stimpson [John* John^ Andrew^ Andrew^), born in Charles- 
town, Apr. 22, 1770, and baptized the same day, married, first, 
at Boston, Aug. 18, 1791, Abigail, daughter of Comfort and Grace 
(McFadden) Whiting (sometimes written Whiton or Why ton), 
who was born in Stoughton, Mar. 1, 1771, and died at Milton, 
Aug. 21, 1795; and married second, at Dorchester, May 15, 1796, 
Abigail Henshawe of Milton. He died at Belfast, Me., Jan. 2, 
1860, aged 89 years. (N. E. Hist, and Gen. Register, v. 14, p. 
188.) 

Very little has been found concerning the history of Joseph. He 
resided at Milton for a number of years. June 26, 1804, he sold 
his sister, Ruth Bradshaw, of Boston, 10 acres of land "on the road 
leading from the burying ground to the Meeting House, except two 
lots belonging to the heirs of Benjamin Henshawe (the same were 
given him (Benjamin) by his father Samuel Henshawe)." 

June 18, 1821, he sold his brother, Andrew Stimpson, all his 
right and title to one acre of land in Charlestown, — the right of 
dower of his mother, Susannah Newell, deceased. This deed, with 
the one given by Andrew a few days later, were the last to be given 
of the homestead in Charlestown by any member of the family. 
The property had been in the family since 1704, and by these deeds 
their interest and that of the family ceased. 

July 2, 1821, he purchased land in South Boston, " on the old 



47 

road leading to Fort Independence " (now Broadway). (Suffolk 
Co. Deeds, v. 272, p. 126.) This lot he sold, July 8, 1836, to 
Michael Keyes, at which time his wife Abigail signed with him, and 
the deed was witnessed by Mary Briggs. (Suffolk Co. Deeds, v. 
487, p. 167.) Mar. 18, 1828, he purchased of John Hawes one 
quarter of an acre of land with the dwelling thereon in South Bos- 
ton, " on road leading to Fort Independence." (Suffolk Co. Deeds, 
V, 326, p. 152.) He left South Boston about this time, and is sup- 
posed to have gone to Maine, but it is known that he resided at 
Hudson, N. H., for a while. Mrs. Bradshaw gave him a legacy, 
which he received from the estate.

ii. Clara. 

41. Ann^ (or Nancy) Stimpson (Johti,* Johi,^ Andrew,^ Andrew'^), born 
in Charlestown, Oct. 14, and baptized Oct. 27, 1771, married at 
Portland, Me., Oct. 26, 1797, Capt. John, son of John and Margaret 
(Wier) Dicks of Torphican, Scotland, where he was born, May 15, 
1766. He died Dec, 1830; she died at Boston, May 14, 1872, 
aged 100 years and 7 mouths. 

John Dicks came to America about 1790 and settled in Portland ; 
he had a great longing for the sea, and in 1793 became captain of 
a trading vessel, and on a voyage to Bordeaux was stopped by the 
embargo ; when this was raised, his vessel was found unseaworthy, 
and he shipped as mate with Capt. Preble of the Commerce, bound 
for Portland ; on his arrival he engaged with Messrs. Clapp & Cobb, 
and sailed, in their employ, to the West Indies for a number of 
years. 

He became the owner of a number of vessels and of much real 
estate in Portland, but the war of 1812 caused him heavy losses. 
In 1818, he commanded the Francis, one of his own vessels, on a 
voyage to New Orleans and Liverpool, when he visited his home in 
Scotland after an absence of thirty-seven years. On his return to 
Portland he settled down to look after his affairs, and built a large 
number of vessels. In 1829, he met with further reverses, owing 
to the failure of his London bankers and Portland houses. He 
once more went to sea, but wrote his son that he had decided upon 
his return not to sail again ; however, in Nov., 1830, he engaged 
to take the brig Angela (the captain being sick) to Havana. He 
sailed from Portland, Dec. 4, 1830, but within three days after 
leaving port, the vessel encountered a severe storm, which swept the 
New England coast, and was most severe in the vicinity of Nan-

tucket on the sixth and seventh of that month. A large number of 
sail were lost at that time, and as neither he nor his vessel were 
ever heard from, it was believed that the entire crew met their 
deaths at that time. 

Mrs. Dicks resided in Portland for some time after her husband's 
death, and then removed to Boston, and spent her remaining days 
with her son-in-law, Charles Brooks, on Worcester Street. About 
1851, she dictated a genealogical statement of her father's family, 
which is still preserved, and has been a great assistance to the com- 
piler in his work. A copy of this will be found in the appendix. 
She lived to a great age, surpassing in that respect all her brothers 
and sisters.* She celebrated her one hundreth birthday, which was 
observed by her friends and relatives in a befitting manner.

(Chandler) Ames, who was born in Andover, Jan. 20, 1777, and 
died at Montreal, Canada, Jan. 28, 1802. It is supposed that he 
married a Miss White for his second wife, and may possibly have 



* The following statistics of this family, taken from an old record, now in the pos- 
session of one of the family, and also from records recently found, may be of interest 
and not out of place at the present time. They show a wonderful longevity ; not only 
is this noticeable in the family of John (4), but in many of the descendants of the first 
ancestor, Andrew Steavenson. 

There were no less than thirty marriages in this family, counting those of both 
parents and children. The combined ages of parents and children aggregated 1225

1766-1830. 



49 

had a third wife. No records of such marriages have, however, 
been found. 

He was a baker by trade — which trade has been followed by 
some member of the Stimpson family for over two hundred years, 
and, until recently, by one of the family in Peabody. 

He engaged in business in Andover, but removed to Portland, 
Me., before 1798, when with his brothers and sisters, he sold his 
interest in the homestead at Charlestown. Afterwards he resided 
at Montreal. He possessed a roving disi^osition, and little is known 
of his last years. The date and place of his death have not as yet 
been learned. The record of ages of these families, mentioned else- 
where, would indicate that Nathaniel died about 1840, and as he is 
not mentioned in Mrs. Bradshaw's will, this date would seem to be 
correct. 

His children returned to Andover and died there. His father-in- 
law, Benjamin Ames, kept the Ames tavern at Andover (afterwards 
called the Elm House), situated in the center of the town. The 
old gentleman died somewhat involved in debt, and his son Benjamin 
Ames, Jr., of Bath, Me., took control of the property, and it may 
have been through his influence that Nathaniel's children returned 
from Portland to their native town.

" The death of Catharine Stimpson Childs, which occurred in this 
district on Thursday evening, removes from our midst one whose 
gentle kindness and devoted life made her dearly loved, and will 
cause her departure to be sincerely mourned. She was born in 
Charlestown in 1793, and her life was a busy and active one, in 
every duty of which she was faithful and sincere. Her purity of 
thought and action, her sweetness of disposition endeared her to all 
who knew her, and no one can forget the tenderness of her sympa- 
thy for all who needed it. Hers was a life well spent through all 
its length, and the reward of good service on this earth was cer- 
tainly gained by her. She could trace directly her descent from 
George Bunker, for whom the noted battle site of the Revolution 
derives its name." *

108. Thomas'' Stimpson (John,^ John,^ John,* John,^ Andrew,"^ Andrew'^), 
born in Watertov/u, Apr. 6, 1800, married at Wilmington, Apr. 21, 
1825 (town record), Apr. 22 (family record), Harriet, daughter of 
Nathaniel and Hannah (Jaquith) Morrill, who was born in Wilming- 
ton, July 5, and baptized July 11, 1802,* and died at Peabody, 
Feb. 7, 1871 (State record), Feb. 9 (family record). He died there 
May 1, 1882. 

He was in Lynn with his brother, John'' Stimpson, for awhile, 
and in Dec, 1824, settled in Danvers, in that part of the town now 
called Peabody, where he continued to reside until his death. 

Elijah Upton of Danvers, sold Thomas Stimpson and Charles 
Martin of Danvers, bakers, a lot of land in Danvers, containing 32 
poles, adjoining his other land, with buildings. Dated Aug. 25, 
lS2e.— Essex Co. Deeds, v. 242, p. 85. 

In 1828, they purchased the adjoining lot, and Sept. 19, 1834, 
Thomas Stimpson purchased the interest of Charles Martin de- 
ceased, in the above estates. 

He was by trade a baker, and carried on an extensive business 
in that line, until compelled by reason of old age to resign it to his 
son Samuel B. Stimpson, who became his successor. The bakery 
is still in existence, but carried on by outside parties. At one time 
he had a partner, by the name of Charles Martin, which will ac- 
count for the fact that several members of the Stimpson family, of 
later generations, bear this as their Christian name. 

Mr. Stimpson took a lively interest in the affairs of the town. A 
great lover of books, he was one of the originators of the Peabody 
Library, and for a number of years a member of the School Com- 
mittee of Peabody. He was also one of the trustees of the Ceme- 
tery. 

* The town records of Wilmington, as lately printed, incorrectly give the birth of 
Sophia Morrill, as July 5, 1802, and omit Harriet's name as one of the children of 
Nathaniel and Hannah (Jaquith) jSIorrill. The records of baptism in the Congrega- 
tional Church show that Sophia was baptized in 1799, and Harriet as given above. 



91 

He used his influence toward settling aright the temperance and 
anti-slavery movements, which were so widely agitated some fifty 
years ago. 

He was made a Mason in Jordan Lodge, A. F. and A. M. of 
Peabody, Oct. 31, 1827, and served as Junior Deacon in 1835, '36 
and '37. He was made an Honorary Member of the liodge, Mar. 9, 
1881. 

Children, born in Peabody : 

i. Thomas Morrill, ^ b. Jan. 21, 1827; m. at Peabody, May 31, 1883, 
Sarah Elizabeth, dau. of James and Nancy Hawes (Carkin) Per- 
kins, who was b. In Peabody, Sept. 28, 1845; d. there, Sept. 30, 
1898. 

He resided at Peabody, and prepared for college at Phillips Acad- 
emy, Audover; graduated at Amherst in 1850; studied law in the 
office of Nathaniel Lord of Salem, and at the time of his death 
was one of the oldest members of the Essex Bar. 

He was very active in town affairs and efficient in the several 
societies to which he belonged. He was vice-president and trustee 
of the Warren Five Cents Savings Bank; a member of the Library 
and Lyceum committee of the Peabody Institute for tweuty-six 
years ; vice-president of the Salem Oratorio Society, and member 
of the Peabody School Committee. 

The special work to which he gave much of his time and thought, 
was that of a conveyancer, and as such he was considered an 
authority. Concerning his profession, perhaps the language of 
Judge Richardson is the most fitting. 

A memorial was presented to the Superior Court, in session at 
Salem, shortly after Mr. Stimpson's death, by Hon. A. P. White, 
on behalf of the Essex Bar Association. Judge Richardson, in re- 
sponding, said : 

" The Court receives your tribute to the character and life of 
your late brother, Thomas M. Stimpson, with due appreciation of 
the feelings which have prompted it, and of your desire to ex- 
press and record them here. His professional work was, I think, 
confined chiefiy to this county, and during the last 25 years or 
more of his life he was not, as I am informed, much in Court. 
But it clearly appears that during this period, as before, he was 
actively employed in the work and practice of his profession, 
probably in as useful a way, contributing as much to the common 
welfare, and on the whole being as useful to his day and genera- 
tion as if he had occupied more public or conspicuous positions."

1. Percival MorrilP, b. May 7, 1884 : d. at Peabody, Mar. 5, 1886. 

ii. Harriet Ann, b. Apr. 22, 1828 ; d. at Danvers, Oct. 27, 1850. 

iii. Samuel Brown, b. Aug. 25, 1830; d. at Peabody, Dec. 26, 1904. 
He occupied the old homestead in Peabody, where he carried on 
the business established by his father some seventy-five years ago. 
He was never married. For a number of years he had been in- 
terested in the history of the family, and not only had carefully 



92 

preserved the many interesting and valuable papers and records 
left by his father, but also had made large additions to them. 
His generous and timely assistance in the compilation of these 
records can best be appreciated by the writer. His death before 
the publication of the book is much to be regretted, as he looked 
forward with much pleasure and interest to the completion of the 
work.

* There is a tradition in the family tliat Leonard Cleverly Fowls was the son of 
Jacob and (Vassall) Fowle, but the records do not substantiate this ; on the con-

N. H., which he carried on for several years. About 1830, having 
bought liis time of his father, he came to Boston, and shortly after- 
wards engaged in selling watches and jewelry, and later in the 
grocery business, meeting with great success until the year 1837, 
when the financial panic of that year impaired his resources. He 
again started in business and soon regained his former condition. 

Mr. Way was largely interested in real estate, and purchased a 
number of estates at the South End, where he built several large 
blocks of houses especially adapted for the working class. About 



148 

1850 he engaged in the banking business, but probably his greatest 
enterprise was the founding of the Bank of the Metropolis in 1858, 
and where he served as president until his death. He purchased 
of the directors and stockholders their entire interest, and made it 
a private bank. He issued letters of credit, which were available 
all over the world. He had as correspondents some of the largest 
banking institutions of Europe. Shortly after his death, his ex- 
ecutors sold his entire interest in the Maverick National Bank, of 
which he was a vice-president, and in which he held a controlling 
interest. 

He was instrumental in having the free banking bill passed, which 
was intended to render assistance to private banks. 

In all his business career, Mr. Way showed the same talent and 
energy which characterized his whole life, and he soon amassed a for- 
tune. Generous and benevolent, his charities were numerous, and 
while they may not have been known to the world at large, yet they 
were dispersed with a liberal hand, and many were the recipients of 
his generosity and thoughtfulness. For a number of years he resided 
in Boston, but about 1849 he removed to Eoxbury, where he lived 
until 1869, when he returned to the city and occupied the house he 
had built on Mt. Vernon Street, where he resided until his death. 
This was considered, at the time, one of the finest mansions in the city.
